Along with its more remarked-upon cases on affirmative action and student loan forgiveness, the Supreme Court decided this morning the case of 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis. 303 Creative is an important First Amendment case, following in the footsteps of Hurley v. Irish-American Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Group of Boston, Inc. and other precedents. The case arose out of a declaratory judgment action by a web site designer who creates web sites for married couples, but does not want to do so for gay marriages.
In my view, the State of Colorado lost the case when it stipulated to the relevant facts. Under the Court’s precedents, the result should have been clear...
Justice Gorsuch devotes the final seven pages of his opinion to dissecting the dissent by Justice Sonia Sotomayor. If genteel, it is also rather brutal. Sotomayor’s dissent is a partisan cri de cœur on behalf of the LGBTQ community, where B stands for “bully.” ...
Sotomayor’s dissent, not a judicial opinion but a partisan political rant, would be embarrassing if authored by a second-year law student. That such tripe can emanate from a Supreme Court justice is dispiriting. Shame on Elena Kagan, who should know better, and Ketanji Jackson for signing on with it.

“How dare they!”
There an awful lot of leftist complaints about abandoning “protected classes.” Here’s hoping the SC next rules the concept of protected classes violates the equal protection clause and they too disappear.
Meanwhile, Michigan is set to violate the right to free speech by criminalizing speech for anyone that won’t “use the “right” pronouns”
The right way to go. Now tell me I don’t have to use those pronouns. They can call themselves anything they want...but I am free to speak as I feel. Offensive?? Hurt feelings? Baloney..
see that, FR? we are allowed to have free speech after all.
“Thank you RON DESANTIS!
“For giving us so many conservative
Supreme Court justices!!!

Somebody had to do it. The far-left’s extreme attack on freedom and liberty was getting very dangerous. It appears as though the backlash by Americans is starting to pay off. It’s about time. The far-left turd rollers have gotten way out of hand.
I heard about this when Red Eagle talked about the 4 great USSC rulings...
Perverted Queers need to take a hike and stop harassment people
We’ve gone from ‘Live and let live’
to ‘Our way is the right way’
to ‘Our way is the only way’
to ‘Shut up, transphobe!’
Give any ‘special’ group an inch and they’ll scream that a mile isn’t enough.
Just make the gay client sign a memo of understanding that you oppose gay marriage, and make him pay 50% up front.
Then, create whatever you feel comfortable with.
Client does not like it?
Forget that noise. Give the unpaid bill for 50% to a debt collector and mess up the client's credit rating!
Does this apply to cakes as well?
Unbelievable that 3 on the SC would put the state above free speech. They should be impeached.
Kagan and Jackson are affirmative action hires. What else can you expect? First, they have that job because of their identity. Second, since their hiring was prioritized they are 2nd rate.
The name “Ketanji” belongs on this list:

Why doesn’t the Supreme Court defend us from Communism???
